The Foundation of Akkuş Footwear and Entry into the Footwear Industry
Akkuş Grup began its journey in the footwear industry in 1969 in Iğdır with a retail shoe store established under the name Ahmetoğulları by Yaşar, Binali, and Keleş Akkuş. From its earliest days, Akkuş footwear focused on building customer trust and delivering reliable products.
Transition from Retail to Wholesale Footwear
After a few years, Akkuş footwear transformed its retail store into a wholesale shoe business to meet increasing demand. This strategic shift enabled the company to expand its customer base and product range, positioning itself as a strong regional supplier in the footwear market.
Akkuş Shoe Manufacturing: Transition to Manufacturer Identity and the Ankara Period
In 1986, during a period of intense migration from eastern regions to major cities, Yaşar Akkuş purchased a shoe factory in Ankara. The entire family and business operations were relocated, allowing Akkuş footwear to enter the sector as a manufacturer. This move marked a significant milestone in the company’s growth.
Expansion of Production Capacity
Starting with a small factory producing rubber and sports shoes, Akkuş footwear continuously reinvested its earnings into production. Over time, the company reached a daily production capacity of 2,000 pairs of shoes, supported by modern manufacturing facilities and improved quality standards.
Wholesale Stores and Market Leadership
In 1995, to strengthen its position in the sector, Akkuş footwear launched a four-story wholesale shoe store in Ankara’s Altındağ district. Today, with a total of four stores including locations in Konya, the company is recognized as one of the leading footwear brands in Turkey.
